|

Pulled the usual handful of wheats (nothing before 1940) and a few GVI's (one was a 1937), two or three rolls of Lincolns (Cu and Zn), but I also got a Bermuda cent. The pig threw me off, LOL! I've still got to go back and look for varieties in the 1961 and 1962 cents, but they're safely stored away until I have some time to sit with a loupe and examine closely.
I don't usually search dimes, just when I want variety, as I find the dates are just small enough to make you strain your eyes a little. I was hoping to find a 1970 (low mintage) or a 1969 large date (big premium), but ended up finding a 1964 silver dime. I've pulled probably 10 silver dimes so far, and I doubt I've searched more than $100 total. On three occasions I've pulled two silver dimes from the same roll. I might have to try this a little more often. |

Good to see you finding Wheats and Copper in your cents. I here some report that they find no copper anymore. I had to lay off roll searching for awhile. Busy during the week and yardwork on weekends. Maybe it will rain this weekend.  daffy

Up here we didn't switch to zinc cents until after 1996, so there's still plenty of copper. I tend to keep any from 1969 and older, but I did get some upgrades for my early 1970s, as there were plenty of AU-BU cents in this last batch. Far more than usual. I don't hoard the copper cents, but I do separate the Lincolns, and will go through them a little closer at some point. I also scored a bunch of half dollars. (That alone is pretty rare up here, since they aren't made for circulation, and the banks can't even order them.) I also got some $1 and $2 bills. The $1 bills were removed from circulation over 20 years ago, and the $2 bills over 10 years ago. Overall, it has been a good week.
Now, I've got to get off my butt and organize my world coins. I've got lots of duplicates, but I just can't seem to get myself motivated to go through all that work, because I know it's going to be a lot! |
